CouchDB

CouchDB is a database that completely embraces the web. Store your data with JSON documents. Access your documents with your web browser, via HTTP. Query, combine, and transform your documents with JavaScript. CouchDB works well with modern web and mobile apps. You can even serve web apps directly out of CouchDB. And you can distribute your data, or your apps, efficiently using CouchDB’s incremental replication. CouchDB supports master-master setups with automatic conflict detection.

Changes

COUCHDB-1781: The official documentation has been overhauled. A lot of
content from other sources have been merged, and the index page
has been rebuilt to make the docs much more accessible.
#54813a7

A new administration UI, codenamed Fauxton, has been included as an
experimental preview. It can be accessed at /_utils/fauxton/. There
are too many improvements here to list them all. We are looking for
feedback from the community on this preview release.

COUCHDB-1888: Fixed an issue where admin users would be restricted by
the public_fields feature.
